    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    Now here comes the truth, that the "religious" never understand: Who is doing the "works" through you? Is it by religious persuasion, to do "works" that they have organized for you to do? Or is it that YOU have decided to take up a cause that you have decided for you TO DO, Or is it those works...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    Now, in likeness to John 14:9, Jesus made a remarkable statement about us, WHO are "born again" through Him. "For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Matthew 23:39. So then, in what WAY shall anyone see the Lord...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    Calm down and get a grip! Yes! Jesus was God in the flesh. But you don't know how! "God is a spirit". Jesus is the express image of the Person of God, manifested in the flesh! Listen to ALL ofJesus' own words about who was doing the works, while He was in His body of flesh. There was not one...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    I understand what you are saying, and I am not taking away from Him His Deity. However, Jesus was made to be mortal at birth, and was subjected to the temptation to sin as any one of us, and remained so upto His death. It was in His resurrection that He became Immortal, becoming then a NEW...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    Earburner wrote: Luke 18[19] And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God. Therefore, Jesus was NOT "good", nor was He "evil" , but rather He was innocent, having no knowledge of good or evil. And we both know that God the Father cannot do evil, but...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    ^ We all can grasp the above understanding by what Jesus said about keeping the sabbath. All Jesus could do about it, was what the Father was doing through Him. The Father was doing good through Jesus on the sabbath day. There is no Law against it.

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    How about listening to what the letter of the Law SAYS, in comparison to HOW Jesus kept the spirit of the Law, thereby fulfilling the Law. Here is the verse that explains it in three words: 2 Cor. 5[21] For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the...

    Please select the correct answer in the following- If one does NOT HAVE knowledge about good or evil, they are: 1. Good. 2. Innocent. 3. Evil

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    Do try to hear KJV John 3:18. [18] He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. To be "condemned already", simply means that such a person does NOT HAVE God's Holy Spirit, and...

    Hebrews 2:9- Jesus tasted death for EVERY man, including Adam!

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    Prior to their disobedience, Adam and Eve did not have Eternal life, nor were they evil or good. One cannot be good or evil, if they don't have the "knowledge of good and evil". IOWs, they were created innocent, and without Eternal life.

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    I don't think you understand! Every person who was/is NOT born again of/by His Holy Spirit SINCE Pentecost, was/is a child of the devil by default. IOWS, prior to Pentecost, Peter and the Pharisees were on equal ground! Neither had the Holy Spirit. When satan spoke through Peter, that was...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    ^ Heb. 2[9] But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    You need to understand that, even though the damage was done for every person generated through Adam, God did not leave Adam and Eve without His Grace, that they could not repent and be saved for eternity through faith. It is apparent that even then, that God provided the sacrifice for them...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    Evidently the Pharisees were very concerned! Jesus was claiming alot of "I am" characteristics of God the Father: John 6[48] I am that bread of life. John 8[12] Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    KJV- Rev. 4 [8] And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. NWT- Rev. 4 8. As for the four living creatures, each one of them had six...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    So then, "before the foundation of the world" , aka " the Creation", the question remains: did 1: God make "a god", or did 2. God bring forth (duplicate) Himself, Who is God, for the purpose of expressing the image of His person through the flesh/veil of Jesus, Hebrews 1[3] Who being the...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    When it comes to comprehendinng God's truth, Scripture is not entirely interpreted by our analytical human mind, but also by the Holy Spirit of God who shows us God's thoughts through His words. John 16:13 Isaiah 55:8-9 Merriam Webster Dictionary: Begotten- brought into existence by or as if by...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    Angels are "ministering spirits", which were created for the sole purpose of the function they were specifically designed for by God. They only have eternal existence, as long as they don't malfunction. If they malfunction, they are rejected and destined to destruction, WITHOUT FORGIVENESS from...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    To be brief, of course Jesus is everything that you are saying. No one can see God the Father! HE is always the Eternal Spirit of who God is. But so that we can know Him, and have a visual identity of the fulness of the Godhead, He brought forth out of himself, the extension of Himself, and...
